MSFCA Survey to be Conducted
The MSFCA has entered into an agreement with Bellmont Partners to develop a marketing program. The first step of this program is to conduct a Membership Survey and Communications Audit.  This audit will be done by the end of August and will show us our communication shortfalls so they can be fixed in a systemic manner.  The survey will also attempt to interview fire service personnel that are not MSFCA members to identify why they have not joined.
